The benefit would be you'd get closer overdrive ratios. So looking at the ZL1 1LE, they decided to update the gearing but only decided to go with a little shorter 6th gear. That tells me the ratios for 1-5 are already pretty optimal for this car.
If we were to see a 7 speed, I'd bet what we'd get is ZL1 1LE gearing for 1-6, and the 7th gear ratio would be the same as 6th in the ZL1.
The 7-speed would be slightly better, and I certainly wouldn't be opposed to it. The difference is going to be pretty minor though.
